Honey Glazed Carrots
Danielle Gaffen, MS, RDN
This simple carrot dish is a staple in my home. Not only does my picky-eater husband (with Crohn’s disease) love these, but they’ve been a hit with dinner guests without gut diseases, as well. I love how quick and easy these carrots are to make, even if you’re a complete cooking newb!
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 2 Tbsp high heat oil see above for why I like to use avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- black pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp parsley
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
Add the carrots and cook until they are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Drain the water from saucepan and return it to stove.
Add oil, honey, and lemon juice to the pot and turn your stove’s temperature to medium heat. (If you have a stove with numbered dials 1-9, I would pick a 5).
Cook until the glaze coats the carrots, usually about 5 minutes.
Season with pepper and garnish with parsley for color and an extra nutrient punch.
